At the urging of Valerie Jarrett, President Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions before finally approving the May 2, 2011 Navy SEAL mission, according to an explosive new book scheduled for release August 21. The Daily Caller has seen a portion of the chapter in which the stunning revelation appears.

Miniter, a two-time New York Times best-selling author, cites an unnamed source with Joint Special Operations Command who had direct knowledge of the operation and its planning.

Obama administration officials also said after the raid that the president had delayed giving the order to kill the arch-terrorist the day before the operation was carried out, in what turned out to be his fourth moment of indecision. At the time, the White House blamed the delay on unfavorable weather conditions near bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.But when Miniter obtained that day’s weather reports from the U.S. Air Force Combat Meteorological Center, he said, they showed ideal conditions for the SEALs to carry out their orders.

“President Obama’s greatest success was actually his greatest failure,” Miniter told The Daily Caller Friday. ”Leading From Behind,“ he said, traces the arc of six key Obama administration decisions, and shows how the president made them — and, often, failed to make them.

I think Miniter is being a little tough on the President here, frankly. And that’s because Obama had a very good reason for delaying the kill mission: namely, that Valerie Jarrett can be quite unpleasant — hell, downright mean — when she doesn’t get her way.

And it weren’t all of us she was gonna be bitching at for those next several months.

“ At the time, the White House blamed the delay on unfavorable weather conditions near bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.But when Miniter obtained that day’s weather reports from the U.S. Air Force Combat Meteorological Center, he said, they showed ideal conditions for the SEALs to carry out their orders.”

Jeff G: Your assertion that all that matters is that the killing got done — and the implication that it shouldn’t matter why it may have been put off and put off.

The decision-making process can be interesting, but by any reasonable measure, it was a successful operation, even if there were delays, or quite possibly, because there were delays. Furthermore, Accu-weather verified the weather conditions, which seems to contradict the story.

Actually, that’s not true. By the measure of “could have done it sooner and not risked losing the opportunity,” the constant refusals to act don’t inspire the kind of confidence the final result was supposed to instill in us.

But that’s just fancy talk for “you’re full of shit, and we recognize you for the liberal fascist and Obama apologist you are.”

Killing Bin Laden wasn’t the right decision, in my civilian opinion. Now, capturing him, bringing his boney frame back to the US and putting him under the hot lights to gather information, followed by many perp walks broadcast at each and every opportunity would have been the way to go. We would have humiliated Bin Laden, learned a lot about the Taliban and humbled his minions.

Since I don’t have the insight into Accuweather that some do, perhaps that wouldn’t have been possible.

And make Obama choose between alienating his core supporters or risk having the all wise all holy independent voters turn against him? C’mon Carin, we’re talking ends, and means to those ends here!.

Hell, the only reason they sent the SEALS in to shoot him between the eyes was because the most important (political) consideration was to make sure he was dead.* Otherwise, Obama would have just ordered a cruise missle launched at him.

*What do you suppose the debate and hesitation was all about: what’s worse for the administration, bombing the shit out of an Abbatabad compound and having Bin Laden survive (or being unable to prove he was dead, which amounts to the same thing, politically), or having a Desert One repeat?

Well, I think the fallout is that those of us who had figured he was dead for the past eight or so years will never be satisfied that the SEALs did bust a cap in his head. I’ve been calling bullshit on this story from the git-go since we never saw a body.

Since when has Obama missed achance to do a victory dance? If it really was Bin Laden, he’d have hauled his corpse around like Weekend at Bernie’s.

For all manner of reasons, it was necessary to know with certainty that bin Laden was dead.While capture was a possibility, that was much less likely of success, operating as they were under the radar with only moments to act.

Baseless assertion followed by baseless assertion followed up by baseless assertion topped off with complete asspull

Because until subdued, a live terrorist in his own house can still set off a bomb.

One of these days, we’re going to have to develop the capacity for our special forces operatives to subdue an enemy. You’d think the Obama Jeenius Bar could have come up with something during the long months that they were delaying the mission.

I suppose they were too busy coming up with ways to create 3,500 jobs when they only had $38,600,000,000.00 to work with.

It’s an Neal R. beta version designed to collect data on who influences who on the right side to map the 2.0 version of the “Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce“. The rise of the right side internet has made the old map of 1.0 obsolete. It should be mocked as humor doesn’t fit into its paradigm.

According to emails released by hacker group Anonymous, Osama’s body was actually flown to the US for cremation. But does that make any sense? If you’re going to dispose of his carcass why lie about the means, burial at sea v. cremation in the US? No, either he’s still alive in a small damp cell somewhere, or the taxidermists are having a hard time getting him prepped for Obama’s October world victory tour. Never shoot ‘em in the head, it makes it hard to get a life-like pose.

In short, the DEA here commandeered private property from a law-abiding businessman and ineptly deployed it in an operation that got a man killed and now endangers a family that had nothing to do with the case. There is a term for what the DEA did with that truck: grand theft auto.

The DEA is running neck-and-neck with the ATF for the title of most dangerous federal law-enforcement agency; in my view, both should be dissolved and their responsibilities handed over to some more responsible party, such as a group of drunken rodeo clowns or ADD-addled teen-agers.

Whoever approved this operation belongs in a jail cell next to whoever approved Fast and Furious.

Zachriel, when you’re ready take a shot at explaining why the White House insisted on leaking details about the op to make Obama look good before the SEALS and their friends had a chance to go through all the material they confiscated and lugged out with them in addition to bin Laden’s lifeless corpse.

Swen, the thought that the Obama bunch could pull off such a secret operation where OBL is still alive boggles the mind.

Because when you want to know the classified, all-weather capabilities of our Navy SEALs, an accuweather staff writer is definitely your go-to guy for the analysis.

I usually get mildly annoyed when other people say this, but fuck it*.

THREAD WINNER!!

*only ‘cuz I’m imagining Ayres struggle as we speak, working on Obamas third autobiography, trying to get the proper feel of of the moment. Going for the atmosphere Eisenhower faced in the invasion of Normandy no doubt…

Especially for a guy that needs permission to borrow his advisor’s jeans for photo ops. Good thing ol Valerie is a meteorol-savant cus SOCOMS strategy divison would never consider weather planning when advising on a COA.

I live in a world where Chic-Fil-A is a violent hate group that must be stopped before they kill us all with their delicious chicken filets, and nuggets, and hate. Meanwhile the new Black Panther Party and the Nation of Islam who threaten people with death and injury are considered heroic forces for justice.

And there are no working giant robots except stupid slow ones designed for forestry work in environmentally sensitive areas.

Oh yeah, having a pair of balls, and not being sufficiently ashamed of it, is considered to be a form of mental illness here.

Rape is only properly illegal if Whoopie Goldberg feels like it’s a case of “Rape Rape”.

We drove up the price of meat to get the price of gasoline down and it didn’t work, and it messes up older engines. AND we shut off the water to the California valley to save some fish that MIGHT be in the pumps. Now they want us to buy electric cars even though producing the electricity means using a lot more of what the electric cars are supposed to stop us from using.

We make movies about sparkly 90 +year old teen aged vampires that walk around in day light and look like a bad James Dean caricature with too much lip gloss on.

It’s like a bad game of Gauntlet. Elf needs food, death is coming, and no one can find the damned exit. Also the change machine is out of quarters and the arcade manager is an idiot who can’t find his keys.

Leigh, I’m anxiously awaiting Bubba’s blade selection. It’s like watching a superhero movie; you already know he’s going to stick it to the bad guy. The fun is in the buildup and how he finally does it.

That Bumblefuck is apparently unaware that Clinton hates his guts is a thing of wonder. Smartest President evah!

I can’t wait. It’s going to be a thing of beauty, too. Bubba isn’t called Slick Willy for nothing. President Fuck-up will be looking at his guts spilling out on the floor and saying, “But I thought we were friends?”
